I know I just dropped by it's so good to catch up with you and see what's new in your life and stuff exactly yeah how are you I'm fine good good great really good good I noticed you didn't dance on the way out it's it's so funny that people don't understand what a dancer you are and I would think that you would dance on your way out well I'm actually very similar to ditto I had the same routine plan whatever she did first so I don't think the kids call it a routine anymore but yeah yeah well you know yeah actually I I I'm one of these people who thinks that I I don't like to dance but then I get to a wedding or something and I go crazy you sure do you lose my mind we uh we were we talked about it we have been uh to we went to Jen and Justin's wedding yeah and there was a lot of dancing that night well I mean you dragged me onto the floor pretty much no no you did no you always do oh and I'm like oh God if I have to and then two hours later I'm like where'd you go yeah I look over at one point and she's got her shoot you're Barefoot on the dance floor and yeah I'm like that that Maniac that jumps around and like runs from end to end and yeah it's true yeah and you were actually sore the next day that's how much you were dancing you told me that your legs were sore well I mean I mean it's like doing 2 000 squats and heels you know is it when you do it properly I see I see yeah um people you know I shared uh the trip to Africa we went on Safari and uh I just showed a little tiny bit of it on the show and we have been uh lots of requests like show us more we want to know what happened in Africa but what I don't know if I told everyone it was actually a surprise it was a gift from you well you I all I'd ever heard was that you always wanted to get to Africa and you never managed to get yourself there so I figured that in order for you to get over the idea that it's a 20-hour flight and that I had to just give you no choice and basically just trick you and make I paid for it fully before I even told her about it and organized everything and invited three of our closest friends and I gave it to her as a surprise on our 10th anniversary yep it was really sweet [Music] it's really sweet yeah it's good I I drove home from work and I drive up and I hear drumming coming from our house yeah yeah I kind of transformed the whole Courtyard into like an African jungle and I brought in uh what I thought was a three-piece African band Only the drummer showed up but it it was still a good surprise and then our Pals who went with us it was really sweet um she's she's always taking pictures of me and I'm always taking pictures of her this is one that you took I actually really love this picture she took a picture of Charlie my cat that I'm in love with was I was laying out on the lounge chair and and she decided to Shield my eyes from the Sun yeah because I took my hat off and it was really sweet of her so Porsha took that picture yeah because she's oh so helpful and never annoying I mean this cat like wakes you up all night long meowing in your face she's vocal she's very vocal and she scratches to get under the she likes it what she likes to do is she needs to have me spoon her so until I lift the covers up and she gets right in there she will not be happy so she's like wow in my face and my all night long but you wouldn't mind it if Auggie did
